Turkey Creek Lake Airport

The airport was privately owned and operated by an agricultural company, D.A.B. Farms, Inc. The closure was a private decision by the owner, leading to the airport being de-registered with the FAA. Reasons for such closures are typically economic or logistical, such as a change in the farm's operational needs, the sale of aircraft, or rising insurance and liability costs. There is no evidence the closure was due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

Although officially closed and no longer recognized by the FAA, the airport's physical infrastructure remains largely intact. Satellite imagery as recent as the 2020s shows a distinct and well-maintained grass runway at the location. The land has not been plowed over for crops or repurposed for other development. This suggests the landowner continues to maintain the strip, possibly for occasional, unsanctioned private use or simply to keep the land clear. It exists today as a private, unlisted landing area.

Turkey Creek Lake Airport was a private-use airfield whose primary function was to support local agriculture in Franklin Parish, Louisiana. It featured a single turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 3000 feet long. Operations would have consisted mainly of agricultural aircraft (crop dusters) for seeding and spraying the surrounding farmland owned by D.A.B. Farms, Inc. It also likely served the personal and business general aviation needs of the farm's owners, supporting light, single-engine aircraft. Its significance was purely local, serving as a vital tool for a private agricultural enterprise rather than as a public transportation hub. The ICAO code 'US-11020' is a non-official identifier used by third-party data aggregators; its official FAA location identifier when active was LS23.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Turkey Creek Lake Airport. As a privately owned property, any decision to reactivate and re-register the airfield with the FAA would be at the sole discretion of the landowner. Given that it was voluntarily closed, it is highly improbable that it will be reopened as a public-use facility. Its future use remains entirely in the hands of its private owner.
